The Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) has expressed full support for the ongoing World Surf League (WSL) Challenger Series in Baler, Aurora for boosting sports tourism and the country’s position as a premier surfing destination.

PAGCOR Chairman and CEO Alejandro H. Tengco said the agency is proud to sponsor a global league that brings elite surfers to iconic waves across the world, including celebrated Philippine surfing sites such as Siargao, La Union and Baler.

“We proudly support the WSL Series, which showcases emerging surfing talents and shines a global spotlight on the world-class waves of the Philippines,” Mr. Tengco said of the event, which started on November 17 and will run until November 23.

“This competition provides Filipino surfers with a bigger stage to showcase their skills while helping promote sustainable coastal development in surf communities,” he added.

“We look forward to a successful WSL Challenger Series and to seeing more Filipino surfers make a mark on the international surfing scene,” Mr. Tengco said.

The WSL is the leading global platform for professional surfing, staging top-tier competitions throughout the year in celebrated surf destinations.

The Challenger Series serves as the crucial qualifying arena for athletes aspiring to join the elite WSL Championship Tour, attracting a field of seasoned professionals and rising stars from across the world.

The Philippines has long been part of the WSL map, with Siargao hosting league-sanctioned events for the past 29 years.

The country’s consistent presence in the global surfing event has helped elevate local shores – particularly Cloud 9 in Siargao, as well as surf hubs in Baler and La Union –into key destinations for both athletes and adventure tourists.
